This palace maid is a little too clever!

Concubine Lan's face suddenly turned cold, her hands wrapped around the emperor's neck, and she instantly changed her smile, and the ease of switching in this way amazed Xia Shangshang, who was watching from the sidelines, and sure enough, the women in the palace all had the strength to impact the best acting skills of the Oscars.

"Does the emperor value the people in the palace of his concubines?" Unexpectedly, Concubine Lan asked such a direct question.

The emperor's face was slightly embarrassed, and his eyes slid towards Concubine Lan's stomach without a trace, and Concubine Lan immediately understood what he meant. Concubine Lan is pregnant, Concubine Rong is grounded, the queen is dignified, and the rest are unsuccessful old people. The emperor hasn't opened meat for a long time, thinking about it!

Concubine Lan's red lips pursed, and she said coquettishly, "The emperor is too good." Guarding the concubines and thinking about others, Lan'er really feels sorry for herself, and it is not good to dress the emperor with a big belly, which has caused the emperor to suffer. If the emperor really likes this palace maid, he will take her in. In the future, the concubine will have a sister with the same background who is easy to talk to. ”

Concubine Lan's words not only showed her intentions, but also hinted to the emperor that she didn't mind the emperor accepting a palace maid to play. However, when the emperor heard Concubine Lan's words, his face showed a little thought.

The concubines who were born as palace maids are always not of high status. If you give birth to a child in the future, your status will not be high. Concubine Lan is different, she is likely to be the first person in the palace to give birth to a prince, of course, her status is not ordinary, and even Concubine Rong will respect her in the future.

But the emperor can't allow another child born to a palace maid in the harem to cause turmoil among the people in the harem. A queen mother has overwhelmed him.

Thinking of this, the emperor's mind lightened a little, looked at the palace maid lightly, and said perfunctorily, "Forget it, I'm here to see you, and I'm going to do something with others." ”

The corners of Concubine Lan's mouth hooked up a touch, "The concubine wants to drink medicine." ”

The emperor came back to his senses immediately, glanced at the palace maid who was still holding the medicine bowl before, and took the medicine bowl without saying anything, and put it in his mouth one by one before sending it to Concubine Lan's mouth.

Xia Shangshang glanced at the palace maid without a trace, and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the disappointment on the palace maid's face.

"Fourth princess, you finally came back this time, why didn't you see Liguang come to play with me? Since Liguang left, there are no more people playing chess, and I am very bored. ”

The emperor blew the medicine, looked at Xia Shangshang with a smile and said.

Xia Shangshang's face did not change, "My husband has had a lot of inconveniences since he entered Beijing. Therefore, he did not dare to drag the sick body to disturb the emperor. ”

The emperor was still smiling, his face was very kind, "It's okay." In the future, you will come to the palace more often when you have time. After all, this is your home too. You are my brother and daughter-in-law, and I can't let people bully you casually. ”

Xia Shangshang responded with a smile, looking really a kind look of brother and brother.

"Oops!" Concubine Lan suddenly shouted, and Xia Shangshang's gaze passed, and he saw that the previous palace maid's body was swaying, and she fell to the ground with a "plop".

Someone immediately came around and picked her up. Xia Shangshang looked over and saw that the palace maid's face was pale, and there was a thin sweat on her forehead, which looked like she was suffering from heat stroke.

The emperor frowned, "Can you still suffer from heat stroke in this weather?" ”

The palace maid's face turned pale again, and she lay in a woman's arms and said weakly, "The slave maid has been weak and sick since she was a child····· I thought it should have been in the kitchen to boil medicine for Niangniang and was heated, so I collapsed due to lack of strength. After that, he bit his lip again, looked pitiful and said, "Your Majesty, the mother forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean it!" ”

The emperor's face softened slightly, and his fingertips dipped the unfinished decoction with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, the medicine is thick." It seems that you did put your mind into it. ”

The palace maid's eyes were still timid, and the two eyes on her small face suddenly became bright, which made people feel distressed. Xia Shangshang thought, if she was a man, she shouldn't be able to resist such a look, right?

Sure enough, the emperor opened the palace maid a few times deeply, and said, "You-"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Lan suddenly spoke up, and said with a gentle smile, "The concubine's medicine has always been boiled by her." Very good indeed. After that, Concubine Lan looked at the palace maid softly and hooked the corners of her mouth, and continued, "The Queen Mother heard that the concubines need to drink fetal medicine every day, so she specially sent the powerful palace maids around her. It seems that all the people around the Queen Mother are really good. You can boil flowers with any medicine. ”

Oh? The smile on the emperor's face slowly put away. "Are you someone sent from the Empress Dowager's palace?"

The palace maid nodded inexplicably, a little apprehensive in her heart. The Queen Mother came to take care of Concubine Lan and seduce the emperor by the way. She didn't know what happened between the emperor and the queen mother, but such a good opportunity was in front of her, and she went without thinking about it.

The emperor let out an "oh", turned around and didn't look at the palace maid, let it be exposed to the scorching sun, and soon, a delicate face was even more bloodless, and the whole person looked crumbling and pitiful.

"You won't come to serve in Concubine Lan's palace in the future, go to the Huanyi Bureau." There was silence for a while, but the emperor suddenly spoke. At this moment, the palace maid's eyes suddenly panicked, "Your Majesty, what did the slave and maid do wrong?!" ”

How can the emperor answer the question of a little slave? What's more, as an emperor, it is a matter of course that a slave dies, where is it the turn of others to question it? What's more, the woman in front of her is just a small palace maid.

Concubine Lan gave her color to the palace maids around her, and soon, they dragged the palace maid down just now. Unfortunately, before she could tell the emperor her name, she was sent to the Huanyi Bureau.

"Impossible! The emperor's eyes when he looked at me were clearly moved! When the palace maid was dragged down, her head was still desperately thinking about what went wrong.

"Don't drink this medicine. I will call the Imperial Doctor to come and diagnose you later. Be careful these days, I will send someone to replace the palace maids in your palace. The emperor explained carefully, and then directly poured the bowl of black medicine on the table into the flowers Coming out of the palace, Xia Shangshang was already very tired. The walking corpse returned home, and when he saw the two brothers Song Fengyue and Song Liguang who were leisurely enjoying the cool under the tree, he was immediately angry.

"I'll go to the palace to find out the news, it's good for you to be so free at home!" Xia Shangshang couldn't wait to bite Song Liguang to death.

Song Fengyue glanced at Xia Shangshang in surprise, "What are you talking nonsense, didn't Concubine Lan take the initiative to invite you to go?" ”

Speaking of this, Xia Shangshang was even more angry. Concubine Lan invited Xia Shangshang, but also invited Song Liguang, Song Fengyue and Nagu. Now in the harem, the queen is dedicated to educating her daughter, and Concubine Rong loses power, so naturally Concubine Lan is the only one. There is nothing wrong with her inviting the emperor's brother on behalf of the emperor.

"Good businessman, don't be angry. We went to the osmanthus workshop to buy you a delicious osmanthus cake and came back, do you eat it? Song Fengyue smiled and avoided the white eyes of Xia Shangshang and said.

Xia Shangshang kicked over and sat down straight. I didn't have such a big opinion on Song Liguang, "Have you gone to Wanhualou?" ”

Song Liguang said a concise "um", "The second prince is really dishonest, he gathered a group of people in Yuecheng and wanted to make trouble." ”

"What's the matter?!" Xia Shangshang sat down, simply picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and Longjing tea and ate it slowly.

"Yuecheng is on the border between the Dayan Dynasty and the Izumo Kingdom, where there has been a great drought for several months, and the second master took this opportunity to raise the price of rice. Now Yuecheng is rice is more expensive than oil. ”

Xia Shangshang nodded, "Since there is a big drought, then there will be less food." However, for the people of Yuecheng, it should not be difficult. It is impossible to have no food at home all these years, and it will be good after this year. ”

"That can't be. Who doesn't know that Yuecheng is barren land. Even if the weather is good in a year, there is not enough food to eat. Not to mention this year's drought year? If you want to survive, you can only buy food. Song Fengyue interjected.

Xia Shangshang furrowed his brows, and suddenly figured out everything in an instant. So he asked, "Izumo Province doesn't sell grain?" Because of the currency?! ”

Song Liguang nodded, agreeing with Xia Shangshang's train of thought.

"That's right! There was a great drought in Yuecheng, and there was no food, so they would buy grain from Izumo Province. But there is no gold or silver among the people, only currency, and Izumo Province should not recognize it. When they couldn't buy food, the people were naturally indignant. Wow, if this starts, it's going to be a big deal. ”

"Found out that the second master did it?" Xia Shangshang suddenly took a bite of osmanthus cake, the sweet taste was permeated in his mouth, and he immediately smiled, Xia Shangshang loved to eat this faint sweet pastry.

Song Liguang touched Xia Shangshang's hair, his mood couldn't help but improve, and patiently explained, "Those granaries are the second master's property. ”

Xia Shangshang said "hmm", Song Liguang suddenly put the tea on her lips in understanding, and poured a large mouthful of weak tea, Xia Shangshang felt that he was alive again.

"That's it! I'll go back first! Song Fengyue couldn't stand it, and now she just wanted to hug Nagu and feed her pastries.

Song Liguang and the two smiled casually, and they didn't stop them.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Shangshang asked.

"Nothing to do. The granary belongs to the second brother, so the responsibility is also on him. Yuecheng makes trouble, even if it will affect the capital, but it will also damage the interests of the second brother. When the time comes, they really can't say who will be hurt more. ”

Xia Shangshang shook his head unreally, "Even though the granary belongs to the second master." But it was the imperial court that issued the paper money measures. No matter how big the second master's mistake is, he just wants to make some money. But over time, the people will understand that the people who make them hungry are the emperor and the queen mother. When the second master is in Yuecheng, as long as he casually goes to open a granary and sends some grain out, he can still win a good reputation. In the capital, he is even more like a fish in water, the image of the second master has always been a straw bag, and the emperor does not need a younger brother who cares about the world. The second master's price increase, but it conformed to the emperor's queen mother's thoughts, they would only feel that the second brother was deceived by money, and they thought that they had grasped the weakness of the second master, but they didn't expect that they were the most hurt. Therefore, the second master still won. ”

After Xia Shangshang's words were finished, the entire courtyard fell silent. In a weedy corner, a human face was hidden in the underground passage, and there was obvious confusion on his face.

Song Renzong had already planted spies around Song Liguang and the others, and today Song Renzong was just on a whim, deliberately wanting to hear their views on his own matter. But I didn't expect that the two younger brothers didn't hear much, but they heard the insights of a female streamer, and explained their motives and purposes word by word. It's really, scary.

Song Liguang smiled, looking very proud, "It's worthy of my wife, it's just very smart!" ”

Xia Shangshang had a smug look on his face, what an incredible thing it was to be able to get Song Liguang's praise. I couldn't help muttering a few sentences, "It's a smart time." It seems that I guessed correctly, and it's okay, it's okay, not too stupid. ”

Song Liguang laughed, "Businessmen have always been smart. It's just that the husband is smarter, which covers the lady's intelligence. ”

Xia Shangshang was dumbfounded, "Where did you borrow this cheek?" How thick it looks like this! ”

Song Liguang smiled indifferently, "In the family, there must be someone with a superior IQ." In this way, we can protect the small family. Song Liguang suddenly talked about home, but it made Xia Shangshang a little in a trance.

It would be a pity if there were no children in a family, right? Lin Ying'er is pregnant, Ye Song'er is pregnant, Nagu is pregnant, and even Concubine Lan is pregnant, as if the woman around her is not pregnant yet. This year, when Xia Shangshang was in pain every month, he would think about whether to conceive a child and save the pain of the next year.

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to get pregnant, Xia Shangshang hurriedly stopped this terrible thought. There are so many children in the orphanage, if you don't have the determination to be a mother, don't harm the children. Thinking like this, Xia Shangshang's heart suddenly felt much more comfortable.

"Young master, young master's wife! Miss Moxiang is awake! A figure hurried in and said loudly.

The movement in Xia Shangshang's hand was stunned when Song Liguang looked over. The osmanthus cake in Xia Shangshang's hand was actually broken.
